An Interesting Indication of the In- crease in Population. THE RENT MARKET AND RENTS Handsome Residences in the Sub- urbs Owned by Citizens. SOME IMPROVEMENTS. There are what are known this year as “congested districts” in the public schools of this city. While the attendance at all the public schools is said to be large, yet there are schools where the number of Pupils is greatly in excess of the number last year. The location of these crowded school buildings throws an interesting side light on the growth of the population of this city. It is found in the first place that the buildings located from 34 street east to Florida avenue have a great many more pupils than was the case last year. The schools in Georgetown are said to be more crowded then they were during the preced- ing year. It is not believed that the in- creased attendance is due to any unusual or awakened interest in the schools on the part of the public, but to the more common- place fact that the population in these sec- tions has increased and that the school rolls show the influence of the additions to the number of the residents. It is known that the building operations in both these sections have been active and that the new houses erected have become the homes of families, and that the children are availing themselves of the privileges of the schools. These statistics of growth of Population are somewhat novel, but there is no question that they have a -meaning and can be used to convince when every other. argument fails. However, there are not very many skeptics as to the growth of this city during the past year or so. Every one knows that for several years past there has been an average annual number of houses erected, amounting to about twenty- two hundred. Last year the record showed the erection of nearly four thousand houses and that the expenditure of money in new buildings reached the enormous sum nearly ten millions of dollars. A Growing Po ation. +. It is natural to suppose, even if thére were no substantial grounds for the suppo- sition, that there must be an increase in the population to justify this great expan- sion of the building operations. This in- crease, however, has taken place, as the official figures and as figures to be pre- pared in the future will show, ani ts go- ing on now. It has not ee, but is still in progress and is likely to continue until this city approaches more nearly its manifest destiny, which in the near future is to be a population of some half a million. Some think that the city is now a trifle over built, and perhaps that may be so. It is a difficult matter to determine. tainly a comparative small percentage 0! the 60,000 houses within the limits of be District is without a tenant. It cannot be denied that there are’ now more houses vacant than was the case last year. But it does not follow that more houses have been built than are needed tion, for it is possible that the condition of the times have led people who would otherwise live as independent families to give up housekeeping and squeeze in a house with other families. Then again there are many people who will not set up an establishment at all in this city this winter. It will be found that, when the character of the times is taken into consideration, the enlarged lists of houses for rent is due to these causes rather than to over bulld- ing. Houses for Rent. There has been quite a good deal of ex- travagant statement in regard to the num- ber of unrented houses in the city this fall. Of course there is no way of ascertaining the exact number except by driving through the streets and counting the houses. No one has done this and no one is likely to do it, and co it follows that no one knows how many houses are vacant. The guesses on this subject that are heard in the talk on street corners and elsewhere are that there re eight thousand houses for rent. This means, if it means anything but idle talk, that almost twenty per cent of the houses in this city are for rent. Even the most casual information would be sufficient to show the inaccuracy of such a statement. Another calculation is based on the esti- mated number of houses for rent on the lists of real estate dealers and which, of course, is only an estimate, a8 it is im- possible to learn without a good deal of effort the exact number of houses each of the three hundred real estate agents in this city have on their books. With a lib- allowance for errors it is calculated that there are not more than one thousand or fifteen hundred houses for rent in this city. Each day reduces the number as peo- ple are getting settled for the winter. It has been asserted on the basis of the alleged existence of numbers of vacant houses in all parts of the city that rents would come down. As rents have not come down it may be concluded that there is some mistake in the premise upon which this conclusion :s based. There is no ques- tion that some tenants have been able to make favorable arrangements this year, but these are isolated instances and do not affect the great bulk of rent payers. As a rule rents are much the same as they were last year and it is impossible to tell whether there is to be a general reduction or not. Certainly, if there is, it will be done gradually. If there is anything in the statement that the city has been over built the scale of rentals ought to show it. Mr. McLean’s Country Home. Extensive improvements are being made by John R. McLean in the old Busey place, which he has leased for a term of years. There will be a new entrance to the exten- sive grounds from the Woodley road and a new driveway through the grounds to the house. The latter, which is an old-fashion- ed but comfortable structure, is being overhauled in much the same fashion that the Henderson house on the adjoining property to the east was prepared for the residence of the President. A complete heating system will be placed in the house, which will make it available for occu- pancy in the winter as well as in the sum- mer. The water supply will be obtained from a well which is now being dug near the house. When all the improvements are completed the house will be as comfortable and will have all the conveniences and lux- uries of a home in the city. Mr. McLean has his house in the city and no doubt will continue to occupy it during the winter, but like other residents who have homes in the suburbs, it is probable that the greater part of the year will be spent at his country house. The attract- iveness of a residence in the country near this city is appreciated by all those who have spent any time outside the city bounds and the tendency which has al- ways prevailed to a greater or less extent among our citizens to establish homes in the suburbs where they could spend a por- tion of each year, at least, is growing more marked. It has now come about that the country is not only sought to avoid the heat of summer, but is the chosen residence @uring the greater part of the year, Valuable Acreage. It may be regarded that this lease of a place in the country by Mr. McLean is an evidence that his interests in this city have become so important that he finds it impos- sible to spend the entire summer away from home,and so he has arranged to be as com- fortable as possible during that period of the year when it is supposed to be hot weather in this locality. The Busey place was leased by Mr. Mc- Lean from the Sharor estate, which be- came the owner of it about three years ago. It had been the country home for a number of years of Dr. S. C. Busey, one of the well-known medical practitioners of the city. For the twenty-nine acres which are included in the place, and the house and other improvements, the sum of $1i6,- 000 was paid, which is at the rate of $1,000 per acre. It is supposed that the privilege of purchase was made a part of the lease which Mr. McLean holds on this place. New Buildings Erected. No improvement has been shown in the building trade during the past week, and the office of the inspector of buildings has been quiet. A total of five permits for new dwellings at a total estimated cost of $9,600 tells the story for the week. The erection of a frame house on Jack- son street, Anacostia, has been commenced for Mrs. L. A. C. gAnderson. James T. Loveless is the builder. William Holmead is building two brick houses on lot ll, block 17, Pleasant Plains. Galloway & Son are the builders, ‘Work has been commenced on a two-story brick dwelling at 2208 Virginia avenue northwest for Michael Moore. John W. Moore is the builder. C. M. Stevens is building a small frame house on lot 19, Greendale. The foundation for a brick dwelling at 2220 M street northwest has been laid for ee A TATTERED FALLACY. That It is Cheaper to Rent Than to Own Your Home. If beginners in life would start out with the determination of owning their rooftree as soon as possible, and if both are of one accord, they can easily regulate their style of living with this end in view. No spas- modic effort will achieve it; only a careful laying aside of small sums regularly. They will find that after the home is once secured they will wish to “improve it,” and the habit of judicious saving being already acquired, it will be no hardship to deny themselves extravagant clothes and aimiess jaunts in order to add new beauties and comforts to their abiding place. The man takes a quiet, intense satisfaction in his feeling of ownership, but the supreme mo- ment in the life of the woman is when she can take her inquisitive friends from garret to cellar and say, with exultant pride, “it is our own.” She knows that in spite of the pessimists’ sentiment the home is a powerful influence for good; and for the sake of bringing up her children where they may fix their ar fections she is more than willing to make motherly sacrifices innumerable. It 1s worth the effort made to escape the horrors of moving day alone, and the chil- @ren may at last have a play room where Ee, ee a oe eee wit it a threatened suit from an irate But some men deny that it is cheaper or more advantageous to own your own house than to rent one, claiming that taxes and insurance more than offset a good rental. Let no home-loving younz couple pin their — to this tattered fall ‘ou can spend all your youth renting and hopping from house to house and be none the better off by the time your children are grown, when by making a first payment, and afterward quarterly sums, only equal, in many cases, to a very low rent, you be- come ag mae before you have half rea- fact. It gives you a different standing in your community to be a landed proprietor to even this extent. You havea say about the HARPER'S FERRY, Nov. 2, 1893. New facts and incidents are occasionally turned up by the inquirer. During a visit to this interesting locality I have gathered some such incidents and facts, valuable to the careful historian. There has been s0 much romance mixed up with the Brown raid that it becomes the duty of the his- torical student and investigator to get at the actual facts. A prominent citizen and able jurist of this country has informed me that most of the published accounts of the Brown raid are imperfect. Even the place where Brown squatted, over on Mary- land Heights, while preparing for his raid, has been wrongly located. John Brown came here from his Adiron- dack home in the autumn of 1859. The writer, during the past season, was a vis- itor to Essex county, N. Y., where Brown resided and is buried, and gathered many facts of his personal history. Brown passed his last night while en route for Harper's Ferry with the late Mr. Norton, who informed me that in reply to a ques- = as to his future movements, Brown : “Watch the Tribune.” 7 hen Brown squatted on the Maryland Heights he gave out that his object was mining, and when the boxes of pikes, guns, etc., urrived, it was understood that they were mining tools. Many of these articies have been collected. Dr. Toner of Wash- ington hasa@ fine specimen, also a car- bine. Others are scattered about, but are dittiicult to obtain. Brown relics command a high price. His last letter to his wife has been purchased by Mr. Dreer of Phil- adelphia for $1,000. His Bible was sold re-| cenuy by a citizen of Charieston to a Chi- cago coliector for $500. Another citizen has srown’s sword, for which has been offered 00 by the Kansas Historical Society, but it is held at $1,000. “John Brown's Fort,” cago—a it was an object of interest, there—nothing, and has gone into the sheriff's hands. The memory of John Brown hangs over the en- tre region. The graves of his men (two of his own sons) and those of his victims are pointed out. One or two of those engaged in the raid — live here; eget egeneneand are interest- ing. A valuable appears in the May issue of the Magazine of American History, which contains some new facts. Some dis- cussion has taken place as to the where- abouts of Brown’s sons when killed. A man named Thompson, an important personage in the little army of invasion, was posted “hoe others at the Potomac span of the iron bridge while John Brown's son and Lieut. Stevens held the Shenandoah span. Thompson was captured and held a pataoner in the old brick hotel (not now standing), while Stevens and Brown were routed from i their position and driven toward the armory. When near the Galt House they were fired on by citizens concealed in that building. Young Brown was shot through the body, but succeeded in reaching the armory, when he called to his friends, “They have shot me,” but immediately reloaded, and seeing Ezra Beckham, mayor of the village and railroad agent, a popular and inoffensive man, shot him dead on the trestle He soon after expired from his own wound. The citizens, learning of the death of Beckham, cried, “Blood for blood,” and promptly avenged the deed by hurrying Thompson to the bridge, where he was shot and thrown into the Potomac. Stevens was saved and taken to jail at Charlestown, where he was tried, condemned and executed. The trial of the prisoners has been described to me by eyewitnesses as remarkable in many ts. The speech of Voorhees (now Senator) is mentioned as one of surpassing eloquence and power. The place of execu- tion (now called Ossawatomie, by way of passing derision) is occupied by a substan- tial residence, It is perhaps a short mile east of the court house, up an open land- scape, which caused Brown to exclaim as|M. he approached it, “What s, beautiful, coun- John Brown thus expiated his foolish ak “but his sou! go*s marching on.” HISTORICUS.
